Hi all,
Recently some amazingly industrious soul sent me a complete family
tree for one of my husband's line. He must have spent years acquiring
all this information.. but what I thought was interesting and helpful, was
the fact that he has divided them all into numbered lines.. i.e. C-1 through
to C-7. Presumably they are all interconnected - he has about 7000 names
on the various lines.
He sent me C-2, which he correctly had worked out was the line I was
interested in. It occurs
to me that when we have all this blizzard of correspondence, we mention
names and dates and places, and usually, I look at the area mentioned, and
if it isn't Yorkshire, basically I just tune out.. perhaps we all do this?
Mainly
because I haven't made any progress past Yorkshire..and then Canada.
Would it be helpful if we (hopefully delegated Tim to) sort our lines in
this
way - ??? thoughts????? Then maybe we could head our various e-mails
with the line we are quoting.. ?
(tim asks why we have all gone quiet..!
lots of information to digest I suspect)

Hello Sharon,
The list has gone deathly quiet these past four weeks but Erica tells me
that the site had gone down but she indicated that it was only for a few
days which does not explain the long pause in lack of overall contact.
Maybe everybody is either consolidating what they have researched and
about
to burst into print, or, I think our antipodean colleagues take a
vacation
around now?
I did check out both Ann and Gwen Catley as to connections with my own
Tree
many years ago and drew a blank I am afraid but then hardly
surprising as
I
have an "intact Tree" back to circa 1600.
However, I was rather hoping that you would have some positive response
from
at least one of our listers but then, to my knowledge, on one has
made any
mention of either of these well known women since I have been included on
this Net which admittedly has only been some nine months now.
There well over 40 listers doing Cat*ley research and one would think that
at least one of them would encompass one or the other Ladies?
Has anyone got any information to assist Sharon?
Sharon:- you should understand that there is no one singular Catley Tree
that we all know of. It looks as if the name is multi sourced as by the
1600's it was already established both in the home Counties and London
area
but also in Lincolnshire,Yorkshire and Somerset.
None of us has been able to make any positive identification of
connections
between these seemingly separate "Catley Pockets" thus we
have to conclude
for the present, that it is indeed a multi sourced name.
Best regards Tim

> Can anyone tell me to which families Ann Catley (1745-1789) or Gwen
Catley
(1906-1996) belonged? All I know about them is that they were both
famous
sopranos and that Ann Catley married Francis Lascelles in about 1765. I've
managed to find information on Gwen Catley's career, but have no idea
where
either of them link into the Tree, and I'm very interested in
them!
